Pay for orders that didn’t go through; unpaid for stock reverts to pre-order availability
As the Majora’s Mask patterned New 3DS XL proceeded to sell out in minutes at GameStop, some people were actually in the process of paying for their handheld when the store payment system timed out and and the limited edition console sold out before the payment could be processed.
In these instances, according to Zelda Informer, your console is still reserved and you have until the end of business of Monday to pay for it. So if you were in the process of ordering one, check for an email from GameStop or just give them a ring. You might still have a system after all.
At the same time, any systems that are not paid for by the end of business Monday will revert to being available for pre-order by whomever is lucky enough to nab it first.
If that fails, the Majora’s Mask New 3DS is listed on Nintendo’s site with “pre-order coming soon,” though the existing 3DS XLs there all just link to retailer’s pages, rather than buying direct from Nintendo (as you were able to do on the UK store).
